| Dr. Parmanto is an Associate Professor of Health Information Management and biomedical informatics at the University of Pittsburgh. His research interests are in the areas of mining, visualizing, and managing complex data sets, and in the areas of Internet technologies. Dr. Parmanto has been leading the development of SOVAT (Spatial OLAP Visualization and Analytical Tools) during the past few years. SOVAT is a novel decision support system that combines advanced data warehouse capability (OLAP) with spatial analysis and spatial display (Geospatial Information System or GIS).
SOVAT can be used on any type of information for numerical-spatial problem solving. For the UPACE grant, Dr. Parmanto is working to develop the Internet-based version of the tool called iSOVAT, and to develop analytical modules for environmental public health tracking. |
